Good comments patrick and Liesl. Might cut some reflective tape for the crankarms. Already have MKS sneaker pedals with reflectors. And a foot or so silver reflective tape on the rear fender. Should maybe hunt down my reflective triangle and install it on the Country Bag.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far. Looks like the ugly cable will be sticking around. Unless I redo it down below the bike.
